Havskum (scarf version)

This is the scarf/small shawl version of Havskum. Havskum is the Danish word for Sea foam.

The scarf is knitted from side to side. The lace edge at the bottom is knitted on.

As part of the design the ‘wave pattern’ is asymmetric to emphasizes the wave effect of the lace pattern.

This pattern includes directions for a scarf, width: 160 centimeter, length 50 centimeters.

The pattern is written for a knitter who is able to keep track of counting (with the help of stitch markers), follow written instructions as well as follow a chart, make increases and decreases and knows how to knit a lace edge on to the main body of a shawl (basically pick up stitches and knit 2 together).

This pattern calls for a yarn with a 25 stitch count per 10 centimeters gauge. i.e. a yardage of approximately 150 meters per 50 grams. Pictured in hand dyed (natural dye) Merino 300 from Chester Wool Company.

The pattern does not include finished items, yarn etc.
